Tripoli: a city in the shadow of death
Gunfire in the suburbs – and fear, hunger and rumour in the capital Thousands race for last tickets out of a city sinking into anarchy
Robert Fisk, with the first dispatch from Libya's war-torn capital, reports.
Up to 15,000 men, women and children besieged Tripoli's international airport last night, shouting and screaming for seats on the few airliners still prepared to fly to Muammar Gaddafi's rump state, paying Libyan police bribe after bribe to reach the ticket desks in a rain-soaked mob of hungry, desperate families. Many were trampled as Libyan security men savagely beat those who pushed their way to the front.

Will there be a battle of Tripoli?
As the Ghaddafi regime quickly is losing its last supporters, the terrified residents of Tripoli are asking themselves if there will be a final battle in the city, or if the regime just will collapse.
Reports from the Libyan capital this evening are contradicting. Several sources repeat that the streets of Tripoli are dominated by the regime's last thugs, plain-cloth men armed with anything from machine guns to sables, and occasional police and army units.

There are unconfirmed reports doing the rounds in Zimbabwe State intelligence circles saying President Robert Mugabe has sent troops from his Commando crack unit to Libya to save his long time ally and financier Colonel Muammaur Gaddafi.

Benghazi units prepare to liberate Tripoli
In "liberated" eastern Libya, people are queuing to join units of the armed forces that plan to go westwards to rescue protesters in Tripoli from Ghaddafi's terror.
Benghazi, Libya's second city and the focus of unrest, has been a scene of celebrations for the last few days, after army units united with protesters and made it the centre of "liberated Libya." People have danced in the streets, sent up fireworks and even returned their arms to the military as popular committees have brought new order to the city.

2011 Libyan protests - Libyan opposition
The 2011 Libyan protests began as a series of protests and confrontations occurring in the North African state of Libya against the Government of Libya and its de facto leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. The unrest began on 15 February 2011 and continues to the present. Media outlets have reported the unrest as being inspired by the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, connecting the protests with the wider 2010–2011 Middle East and North Africa protests.[4] According to Richard Engel, NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent, who entered Libya and had reached the city of Tobruk on 22 February 2011, "the protest movement is no longer a protest movement, it's a war. It's open revolt."[5] On 22 February, The Economist described the events as an "uprising that is trying to reclaim Libya from the world's longest-ruling autocrat."[6]
Libyan opposition
The Libyan opposition is a generic term used to refer to groups opposed to the government of Muammar al-Gaddafi. The opposition includes organised groups, participants in the 2011 mass protests and demonstrations, Libyan diplomats that no longer support the Gaddafi-led government and Libyan military units that have switched sides to support the protestors.
